Hope you're not sick of character designs...

I hate to post next to Mel, becuase mine are not meant to be realistic or well-proportioned, but rather cartoony and warped. These are some preliminary sketches of a few new characters for my book. They're still too detailed for use as is. The goal here is just to establish different faces-- it should look like a variety of ages, sizes, races. My book is comprised of many short comics loosely connected, and each character has his/her own story, ranging anywhere from 1-15 pages.

The weather is chilly in the book, which is why some of the girls are wearing scarves. Also, it's long been fashionable for Halifax hipster girls to wear scarves practically year-round. All of the faces are based on people I saw on the bus-- except you should see one familiar face in there. That's me at the top, I'm a minor character. I didn't want to draw myself too flattering, but my roommate rejected my initial sketches of myself, saying they were too ugly. Actually, what she said was, "You look like you just escaped from Dachau and you're jonesing for some heroin." Ha.
